Yeah, there's a huge difference between the existence of those links and 
their actual use. KDETMP is one of those dark corners of KDE. It's used 
in lnusertemp to actually create the directory. ksmserver uses it only 
to check whether it's writable and that's it. I can't remember whether 
we actually add it to kstandarddirs at any point but I don't think so. 
Furthermore almost all others places in KDE which do use tmp dir 
use /tmp by default. 
Anyway if you don't want to be browsing too much code, check whether 
there's actually anything 
in  /home/frans/kde/kde_tmp/{kde-frans,ksocket-frans}.
